Welcome message by the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS 2022) General Chair Ir Academician Emeritus Prof Tan Sri

Dato’ Dr Chuah Hean Teik

Greetings to all participants of IGARSS 2022!

Welcome to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the place where all the colours, flavours, sounds and sights of Asia come together. Since Malaysia has reopened its borders to international travellers, it’s time for us to reconnect and reunite! On behalf of the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) 2022 Organising Committee, I am pleased to welcome you to the 42nd Annual IGARSS Symposium 2022, which is in both virtual and physical modes for the first time.

IGARSS 2022 aims to continue the excellent tradition of gathering world-class scientists, engineers and educators engaged in the fields of geoscience and remote sensing to meet and present their latest knowledge and experience on recent developments and advancements, and exchange ideas while attempting to identify future trends and make contact with the international remote sensing community, particularly in the context of earth observation, disaster monitoring and risk assessment.

Themed ‘Preserving Our Heritage, Enabling Our Future through Remote Sensing’ the symposium this year would offer a variety of programmes such as keynote talks, technical sessions, tutorials, exhibitions, fun run, awards banquet, pre-and post-conference tours and a map design competition as well as the summer school. We hope that you will have a fun-filled time at this very special and meaningful symposium.

To put a symposium of this magnitude together is not a small task. Thus, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the success of this international symposium. I hope this symposium will provide a meaningful experience for everyone and I wish you a very productive symposium with exciting and encouraging discussions and exchange of knowledge so that together we can anticipate a future of groundbreaking knowledge, research, and technology for the betterment of society.

Do enjoy the exciting week at IGARSS 2022.

Thank you.

Best Wishes,

Ir Academician Emeritus Prof Tan Sri Dato’ Dr Chuah Hean Teik

Rebecca MooreDirector, Google Earth, Earth Engine and Outreach

Rebecca Moore directs Google’s geospatial initiatives driving environmental and social impact, including Google Earth, Earth Engine, and Environmental Insights Explorer. She initiated the development of Google Earth Engine in 2009 as the first cloud-native, planetary-scale geospatial analytics platform bringing an unprecedented amount of satellite data online, together with petapixel-scale computation, enabling data scientists to easily derive actionable insights about our changing planet. In 2017, Earth Engine won the ASPRS Outstanding Technical Achievement award. In 2018, her team launched Environmental Insights Explorer to provide climate-action relevant data to thousands of cities worldwide. Moore’s personal work using Google Earth was instrumental in stopping the logging of more than a thousand acres of redwoods in her Santa Cruz Mountain community. Moore has been honored with the 2013 White House Champion of Change Award for Open Science and the 2016 Rachel Carson Award from the National Audubon Society. She received a bachelor’s degree in artificial intelligence with honors from Brown University and a master’s degree from Stanford University.
